Half a roll of toilet paper in room on arrival, front desk wouldn't provide. We were told to find housekeeping to get one roll. Breakfast was out of milk, juice, syrup and oatmeal. Fitness room was old and outdated equipment. Not all TVs worked. Hotel needed to be cleaned better all over. Would not stay here again.

Hotel was great. Rooms were clean, staff were courteous and check in was fast. The hot breakfast was good over the weekend. Not too many selections on Monday. The location was in close proximity for our event at the Colonial Arena. I will choose this location again if ever in the area. day.

Gave us an occupied room, the second room had a bad smell in the bathroom so we ended up in a third room. Staff needs to work on their customer service skills.

Not too happy. The maid service never showed up on Saturday. I left my room at 10am and got back at 3pm no service. I also am very disappointed I had to pay for parking. In everything I read it said self park. Self park does not mean $10 a night! Overall ok but very disappointed.
